Biopolar Disorder Treatments Revealed

This book does a great job discribing Bipolar Disorder along with the many things that can contribute to the condition. It gave me hope that there are other alternatives that can work with Western Medicine. The auther has researched all treatments available and does a wonderful job discribing how each one is derived and how diagnosis is made and the treatment offered. The most important thing is it gave me hope that this stigma plaged disorder is one not to be ashamed of but one that tnat can be treated naturaly when the root of the problem has been determined. I am greatful there are people that are willing to present clear information so that we have other choices besides the one that treats the symptom and not the cause. Thank You, TE Carmel, IN

Must Have.....

This is the first book I bought after being diagnosed. I tryed the medications and knew it was not for me. This book was the foundation for my start to a natural treatment. It covers topics that the average person would never know could be a problem.

The Natural Medicine Guide to Bipolar Disorder (The Healthy Mind Guides)

I have suffered for 13 years with Bipolar Disorder, and this book was very thorough and educational about the nutritional components of the disorder, as well as alternative therapy treatments. I would highly recommend this book to anyone suffering from bipolar disorder.

wow!

this is a great book for anyone looking gor an alternative to perscription medication. so far i have used some supplements recommended by the book and it is working. she does a good job of explaining the chemical reasons why and how things such as gluten, sugar, and caffiene actually effect our brain chemistry.
